As Derek Zoolander said: the files are in the computer! 🐒💻 Well, in this case, the files are in the Nintendo cartridge, and I need to get them onto the Raspberry Pi 5. I’m proud of this project as it’s my first ever Raspberry Pi project! 🎥: youtu.be/f6F-0xLmoOI

My RetroPie build is coming along well! 🎮 Mounting the NVMe hat to the Raspberry Pi 5 has honestly been the most difficult part thus far - all because I was using the wrong screw. 🥹 Also, why didn’t anyone tell me it’d take 20+ mins to install RetroPie? 😩

Two hands hold a retro-style 8BitDo Pro 2 game controller. It features a D-pad, two joysticks, and pink buttons labeled A, B, X, Y. Manuals and a box with red buttons are visible on the table. A book and other items are partially seen in the background.

It’s my very first monthly builds kick-off! 🥳 It feels so good to finally get hands-on with some hardware! It’s been a minute since my PC build and I’ve been dying to explore new areas of building. July is gonna be a pretty chill month. Here’s a look at my plans for the month. [1/2]

FINALLY got around to unboxing my 8BitDo Retro 108 Mechanical Keyboard - and here’s the video: youtu.be/nuVxeVJdWt4

Embarrassed to say that I’m finally getting around to using my Stream Deck to control my Teams meeting controls 🥹 + just learned that it can open apps/programs 😳 What else can this thing do not related to streaming? I need advice!

Had the happiest birthday 🎈

There was one clear winner 🎉 Huge thanks to everyone that helped me choose my first soldering kit! 👩🏾‍🏭 I also got some tips and that little wiry thing for cleaning the tips!

Buying my first pair of safety glasses for my new soldering kit and realizing that this is in fact the most difficult decision - because SO many pink pairs exist! 🥹💕

Tiny detail but tomorrow I get to legally change my last name because I got married back in April. ♥️ Yes, April got married in April. 👰🏾‍♀️ The long post-wedding wait is now over. I’m no longer going to legally be “April Speight”! 😌

Turns out, Threads isn’t so bad for finding the tech community. Although I don’t care for having to flip between apps, it is nice to have conversations with my people.

Thought of a new Raspberry Pi project to start soon and realized it meant an upcoming trip to my beloved Micro Center! 🙆🏾‍♀️

Evolving past just programming and adding a few other hardware related skills to my skillset has been one of the best things that I could’ve done for myself. I’m looking forward to a summer of tinkering and diving into electronics. Feeling pretty invincible - hope to keep this same energy! 🥹

Keeping in mind that I’m new here and never soldered a day in my life, could someone recommend a “first” soldering iron? I don’t have a budget because I’ve never bought one and quite frankly don’t know the correlation between cost and quality yet. Thank you. 👷🏾

Any women here into hardware? Im curious to learn more about electronics and wondering where my peers got their start. 🤔

So…what has everyone been up to on here? 🥺 I’ve been playing with my Raspberry Pi 5. I even gave it a small language model. 🥺👉🏾👈🏾

We’re gettin’ the band back together. ❤️ Still some of the absolute best humans I’ve ever worked with and I’m *thrilled* about what we made this week! Massive thanks to @vogueandcode.bsky.social @soucoup.com @ashley.dev @sethjuarez.com @microsoft.com

They say your first PC build is always the hardest - mine was no different. 🥲 But look how fabulous it all turned out! 🙋🏾‍♀️ Come hang with me as I build my dream PC - quite literally from scratch! 🥹 🎥 Watch now: youtu.be/qEKTl7PhFnU

Normal people at 2AM: 😴 Me at 2AM: “Omg, I’ve found a code snippet in a random GitHub repo that’ll fix that problem I had 9 hours ago!”

I did it - I built my first PC! 👩🏾‍💻 And I didn’t even cry. I cursed a lot. But this PC build didn’t make me cry. Gonna change the LCD screen to Whitley in the AM but for now, it’s Aaron Pierre. 🥰

I’ve been playing Monument Valley, and I don’t hate it. 🫶🏾

This is the first year where I’m not launching shiznit on January 1. I love that for my nervous system. 😌🙏🏾

Doing my first PC build - waiting for a few more items to arrive. Diving back into my Blender + Unity roots next year. 👩🏾‍💻 Any advice for first time PC builders? Don’t worry, PC Part Picker and I became well acquainted already. 🥹

Knock knock ✊🏾 Is anybody home? 👀 I can’t seem to figure out how to change my BlueSky handle but alas, Miss. Vogue & Code is here. 🙆🏾‍♀️ Is anyone else coming to MS Ignite? 👀

Good Morning from Olivier + his new girlfriend Lamb Chop. They’re in the best kind of love. 🐾🥰🐩

I will be deeply impressed if the visuals look JUST like what we’re seeing on screen during WWDC.

But what is it tethered to???

Happy WWDC (to those who celebrate)! 🖥️📱💻

I’m new here to indie game dev 👋🏾 I’ve been working on a game called QWERTY in my spare time. It’s a mystery game that takes place at a keyboard company. I also 3D model + I’m currently making assets for my game. I’m not part of an existing studio but I’m in DevRel at Microsoft, background in AR/VR.

Hey, let’s get an intros thread for all of the game devs here! Tell us about yourself, your studio, and/or your current projects! 👾♥️

Everyone - come look! 👀 I’m a dog mom now! 🖤 Meet Olivier, our sweet and adorable black Standard Poodle. 🐩 Life is now purely dedicated to this angel. I do everything in life for him to have a perfect life. 🥺🙏🏾🖤
